Since the side doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number.

Master keys— 2. Sub key— This key will not work in the glove box. We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place.

To protect items locked in the glove box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant. Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. Master keys black — These keys work in every lock. Sub key gray — This key will not work in the glove box.

These chips are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine.

NOTICE When using a key containing a transponder chip, observe the following precautions: z When starting the engine, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.

If this happens, remove the key once and then insert it again after removing other transponder keys including keys of other vehicles from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine. However, there is a limit to the number of additional keys your Toyota dealer can make for you. The engine will start only when the electronic code in the chip corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle. The system is automatically set when the key is removed from the ignition switch.
